Hello, I have a fresh install of apache2 and php on my server and I can not get php to work, php-scripts are not executed by apache, just the plain script is served to the browser.
The problem looks similar to this one: Can't execute PHP script. But it is unsolved and from 2007 on Lenny, so I opened a new one in hope of help. I have the following packages installed: apache2.2-bin apache2-mpm-prefork apache2.2-common apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-suhosin Apache is up and running: root@server:~# ps ax | grep apache2 12306 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep apache2 24913 ? Ss 0:01 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 25047 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 25048 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 25049 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start 25050 ?

The local lynx on the server gives me the option to download the php-file. root@server:~# lynx --dump http://localhost/test.php <?php phpinfo(); ?> Here the logs: access.log 127.0.0.1 - - [04/Jan/2012:10:18:27 +0100] "GET /test.php HTTP/1.0" 200 284 "-" "Lynx/2.8.8dev.5 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 GNUTLS/2.8.6" root@server:~# cat /var/log/apache2/error.log [Tue Jan 03 21:44:59 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) configured -- resuming normal operations [Tue Jan 03 21:45:01 2012] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Tue Jan 03 21:45:01 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) configured -- resuming normal operations A simple purge of all related packages and reinstalling changes nothing. I hope this problem is solved already, but I have not found any solution yet. What have I or the server done wrong? Thanks
